Abstract

Magnobolt is a teaching aid built on hands-on activity and exercises. This study examined a framework that could integrate both theoretical and practical of learning science in Malaysia. ADDIE model was used for Magnobolt module development. The perception of 300 science teachers across the Perak on Magnobolt studied via questionnaire includes two parts; Pedagogical Approach to Teaching and Learning and training suitability. The reliability for Magnobolt was tested on a total of 30 teachers which were not involved in the actual study. An analysis of the Cronbach’s Alpha exhibits 0.945 showed very good reliability. Three content domain experts were involved to evaluate the validity of the Magnobolt. A real case study on 300 science teachers agreed that the Magnobolt was developed for a pedagogical approach to teaching and learning and suitable for training with the total mean score of 4.34 and 4.25 respectively. This science module also injects the element of creativity and innovation to build fun in learning science and creative capacity of teachers.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of Information Communication Technology (ICT) utilisation in learning science to improve students’ motivation. This study examined 100 students from Malaysian Tamil vernacular schools to learn ICT-based science.Research design used a mixed method approach involving quantitative and qualitative data. Students answered the Science Motivation Questionaire II (SMQ II) instrument based on the dichotomous scale that uses “Yes or No” questions. Open-ended questions were also analysed qualitatively. The instrument was divided into five categories, namely Intrinsic Motivation, Grade Motivation, Self-efficacy Motivation, Self-determination and ICT Motivation. The findings showed that all 25 items of SMQ IIhad significantly high level of motivation. 90.2% of respondents agreed that ICT-based learning of Science stimulated their Intrinsic Motivation. Respondents admitted that factors such as Elements of ICT (46.6%), Assisted Learning (30.10%) and Stimulated Interest (23.3%) had been their attraction towards the usage of ICT in learning Science. This study also identified that respondents regarded the level of internet accessibility (34.7%) and health (25.5%) as being the main obstacles to using ICT during Science learning. Findings from this study show health issues hinder the usage of ICT in learning Science. Therefore this new element should be taken into account so as not to become a constraint for their motivation. The significance of this study is to enable Tamil vernacular school students to show interest in studying science.
